It took a jury about 10 minutes to convict George Cannon of sexually abusing an 8-year old girl a few years ago.

On Wednesday, Cannon, 63, of Opelika was found guilty of sexual abuse of a child under the age of 12 following two days of testimony, where the state contended that Cannon had inappropriately touched a girl while she and her brother spent the night at his home.

Following the verdict, Assistant District Attorney Clay Thomas said he appreciated Assistant District Attorney Gentry Jackson’s work in the case and was pleased the jury found Cannon guilty.
